COVID-19 Service Changes

Due to COVID-19, the Barnard Archives & Special Collections reading room and office are physically closed until further notice. Staff continue to work remotely and can support researchers, students, faculty, staff, and alums with research requests; please email archives@barnard.edu.

Our digital collections provide access to a small fraction of our total collections, including digitized yearbooks, the school newspaper, photographs, oral histories, and Barnard Center for Research on Women documents. 

Documenting COVID-19 at Barnard

Archives staff are working on a project to document the impact of COVID-19 on the Barnard community. We are collecting official communications from the College, archiving websites, and building a collaborative collection with the Barnard community.

We welcome your voices:

  • Share a website, news story, or social media feed/post that reflects the impact of COVID-19 on Barnard for inclusion in a collaborative web archive (submit via this form)
  • For faculty: if you have added or are thinking about adding a journaling or other documentation-based assignment to your syllabus, email archives@barnard.edu to discuss a class or individual donation to the archives.
  • We welcome other donations of materials documenting COVID-19 and its impact on the Barnard community; please email archives@barnard.edu to discuss how to transfer digital or paper/analog records to the archives.
